Design of a variable stiffness bracing system: mathematical modeling, fabrication, and dynamic analysis
This paper presents a new bracing system with variable stiffness springs; this adaptive structural control system is designed to protect buildings against severe vibration and ground movement. The developed variable stiffness bracing (VSB) system comprises four nonlinear steel leaf springs that prov...
